Carlos Micháns

Carlos Micháns (Buenos Aires 1950) moved to the Netherlands in 1982 and became a Dutch citizen in 1988. In his native Argentina he studied composition with Susana Oliveto and Roberto García Morillo, one of the country's leading composers. He also graduated in conducting at the University of Buenos Aires and the Art Institute of the "Teatro Colón", South America's major opera house. In 1982 he was awarded a scholarship from the Dutch Ministry of Culture and Science, which enabled him to pursue postgraduate studies in composition and electronic music with Hans Kox and Ton Bruynèl at the conservatory of Utrecht, where he obtained the Composition Prize in 1988.
